Slow Progress

A good friend enlisted me to help re-decorate her teen daughter's room. After many months of emailing back and forth, we have nailed down a design scheme.

What we started with...

The room's bright candy colours have been painted a soothing warm white, Dove Wing by Benjamin Moore. New furniture was purchased and now the fabric has arrived! The daughter is really attracted to graphic prints, so we have a plethora of them. She was really insistent on the circle duvet and House fabric from Ikea. So I have had to work around that.

Funny thing, was one of the first colours she wanted in the room was a spicey orange colour - and what a surprise when a month later Pantone announced Tangerine Tango as the colour of 2012.

Here is what we came up with {except we aren't using the yellow and white stripes}

I am excited to get working on whipping up pillows. We have yet to decide on which to make a roman blind with. Will wait until we get everything into the room, there are a lot of patterns at play so we want to make sure we don't overwhelm the room.

In exchange of helping with the re-decorating of the room my good friend who is an aspiring photographer took our family's photos. My profile picture was taken by her!

She is then going to photograph the room for me - can't wait to show you the finished room!

Hopefully I can get this room done faster than the rooms in my own house!
